Why choose the X900 kayak paddle?
Construction:
- unidirectional multi-layer carbon for the best balance between lightness and strength
- monobloc for uniform flex and excellent strength at the blade/tube junction.
- foamed blades for maximum rowing stability and comfort in and out of the water
Shape:
- blades with dihedral for greater fluidity and optimum balance in the water
- sea kayak type shape with drip stop integrated into the blade
How to change the size of your paddle
The settings depend on the user, the environment and the kayak:
A short paddle for white water and narrow kayaks (< 60 cm wide).
*Short paddle = between 20 and 30 cm more than your height
A longer paddle for touring and wider kayaks (> 60 cm wide).
*Long paddle = between 30 and 40 cm more than your size
How to adjust the angle of your paddle
The settings depend on the user, the environment and the kayak:
Between 0° and 45° for white water, where quick movements and reactivity are necessary.
Between 45° and 90° for touring, where reduced windage is required to reduce the necessary effort.
